This series, ‘A Newsreel History of the Third Reich’, includes unique footage plundered by Russian Troops in 1945. Compiled as it is from German newsreels which were made under the influence of Goebbels' Ministry of Propaganda, these are by no means accurate histories but allow unique insight into how the period leading up to and including WW2 was presented to the German people.

Volume 14 deals with the second part of the year 1943. It covers events on all the German fronts including: Eastern Front - Stuka attacks and shelling of the docks of Leningrad; Home Front - air traffic control center for the Rhine area, heavy bombing over Krefeld and the aftermath; Atlantic Front - u-boat packs hunting and attacking allied merchant shipping and British submarines; Mediterranean Front - partisan fighting in Montenegro.
